Anemometer Mechanical wind speed direction sensor for weather stations

The integrated wind speed and direction sensor consists of a wind speed sensor and a wind direction sensor. The wind speed sensor adopts the traditional three-cup wind speed sensor structure, and the wind cup is made of carbon fibre material with high strength and good start-up. The signal processing unit inside the cup can output the corresponding wind speed signal according to the user's needs. The wind direction sensor adopts a precision potentiometer and a low-inertia light metal wind vane to respond to the wind direction, with good dynamic characteristics.

Integrated wind speed and direction sensor technical parameters：

 A wind speed and direction integrated sensor is a meteorological sensor capable of measuring both wind speed and direction, and is commonly used in applications such as weather monitoring, environmental monitoring and weather forecasting. The following is a brief introduction of the integrated wind speed and direction sensor:

1. Wind Speed Measurement: The wind speed sensor section uses a rotor blade to measure wind speed. By installing a rotor in the sensor, the wind speed can be measured accurately.

 2. Wind Direction Measurement: The wind direction sensor part uses photoelectric converter and other technologies to determine the direction of the wind. The wind sensor can indicate the specific direction from which the wind is coming, usually in 360 degrees.

 3. DATA OUTPUT: The integrated wind speed and direction sensor outputs real-time measured wind speed and direction data to the user or other equipment for recording and analysis. These data can be transmitted through digital interface (such as RS485, etc.) or analogue interface.

 4. All-weather performance: Most of the wind speed and direction sensors are designed to be waterproof and wind-resistant, which is suitable for long-term monitoring under various meteorological conditions.

 Wind speed and wind direction integrated sensors are widely used in meteorological observation stations, environmental monitoring stations, wind farms and other occasions, for real-time monitoring of wind speed and wind direction data, for meteorological forecasting, wind energy use, etc. to provide an important reference basis. By simultaneously measuring wind speed and direction, the integrated wind speed and direction sensor provides users with comprehensive wind information, helping them to better understand the local wind conditions and make decisions accordingly.

An Integrated Wind Speed and Direction Sensor is a sensor device that combines the functions of measuring wind speed and direction. Here is an introduction and the advantages of this sensor:

1. Device introduction: An Integrated Wind Speed and Direction Sensor integrates the capabilities of both a anemometer (wind speed meter) and a wind vane (wind direction sensor). It can simultaneously measure both wind speed and wind direction. It typically consists of a main body structure that includes a rotating wind vane and a device for measuring wind speed. This integrated design simplifies the installation and usage process, reducing the space required by the equipment.

2. Integrated Wind Speed and Direction Sensor Advantages:

   - Comprehensive measurement: Traditional anemometers and wind vanes require separate installation and independent measurements, whereas an Integrated Wind Speed and Direction Sensor provides reliable measurements of both wind speed and wind direction simultaneously. It allows for a more comprehensive understanding of wind field variations.

   - Accuracy: An Integrated Wind Speed and Direction Sensor offers high measurement accuracy. Through its precise measuring device and sensitive sensors, it can provide accurate wind speed and wind direction data to meet the requirements of various application fields.

   - Quick response: The integrated sensor can rapidly respond to changes in the wind field. It can provide real-time wind speed and wind direction data within a short period, facilitating timely monitoring and decision-making.

   - Durability: Integrated sensors are typically constructed using high-quality and durable materials. They possess strong resistance against wind, dust, and water, making them suitable for operation in various harsh environmental conditions.

3. Integrated Wind Speed and Direction Sensor Application value:

   - Weather observation and forecasting: Integrated Wind Speed and Direction Sensors are widely used in meteorological observation and weather forecasting. They provide accurate wind field data, helping meteorologists understand wind intensity and direction for tasks such as weather prediction and risk assessment.

   - Aviation and maritime: In aviation and maritime domains, precise wind speed and wind direction information are crucial for flight and navigation safety. Integrated Wind Speed and Direction Sensors can provide real-time and accurate wind field data for aircraft, ships, etc., assisting pilots and captains in making informed operational decisions.

   - Greenhouse and agriculture: Wind speed and direction play a crucial role in greenhouse and agricultural management, as they can influence crop growth. Integrated sensors can be used to monitor and record changes in the wind field, enabling better decisions regarding irrigation plans or adjustments to greenhouse ventilation.

In summary, an Integrated Wind Speed and Direction Sensor combines the capabilities of measuring wind speed and direction, offering advantages such as comprehensive measurement, high accuracy, quick response, and durability. It holds significant application value in weather observation, aviation and maritime operations, agriculture, and other fields by providing crucial data support.

It can be widely used in meteorology, marine, environment, airport, port, laboratory, industry and agriculture and transportation.

One-piece wind speed and direction sensor installation：

When installing the sensor, please ensure that the wind direction sensor is on the top and the wind speed sensor is on the bottom, and that the sensor is installed in a vertical direction to the ground, there is a white fixing point on the wind direction sensor, please refer to the compass included with the product to keep the wind direction guide direction in line with the geographical south before use.

Troubleshooting ：                                

1、The wind vane rotation is not working, the hysteresis is big. May be due to long-term use There are foreign objects in the bearing or the lubricant is used up. Please fill the instrument oil from the upper bearing of the sensor or send the sensor back to the company for oil injection.  The oil should be injected from the upper bearing of the sensor or the sensor should be returned to the company.

2. When the analogue output is displayed, the display shows a value of 0 or not within range. It is possible that the collector is not getting the correct information due to a wiring problem. Check that the wiring is correct and secure. Please check that the wiring is correct and secure.

3、If not for the above reasons, please contact the manufacturer.
